This is the one time I hate to agree with you! Over the last several years I imported a lot of parts from Australia to upgrade and convert my G8. Every month the stuff got more and more expensive simply because of the changing exchange rate.
Keep in mind that GM had to HEAVILY incentivize the G8 to sell them. I know people who bought brand new GT's for very low 20's!
